Stand Up Paddleboarding
Spent Memorial Day Weekend on the water – on a float, stand up paddle board and sailing the Open House Regatta. Here’s a clip of paddling on Queens Creek:
Jess and I got to spend some time with my family at the outer banks including my sister and her family who flew in from the west coast. We got a fair bit of rain, but made the most of the beach days.
I also go to do some paddle boarding – the first two days on the ocean where I saw dolphins swimming around. The second two days were in Kitty Hawk Woods Reserve on some of the canals and marshes there.
On the last day, Jess and I drove down the island, did some shopping and visited Sam & Omies for lunch before the drive home.
I had been wanting a second stand up paddle board in addition to the Isle Cruiser we already have so that paddling didn’t have to be a solo pursuit. I had been looking at touring style boards and when this Bote Traveller showed up on Facebook Marketplace- I knew this was what I wanted and drove to New Jersey to get it in February.
Friday it finally made it down to the river and I went out for a maiden voyage on a beautiful evening in April.
This week we got a new Stand Up Paddle board to use down by the river. I found a deal on one we liked by Isle that should be a good all-around beginner board. We took it to the river and Jess and I both got to try it out on a beautiful day. Lucky for us we stayed upright and didn’t fall in as the jelly fish in the creek were unreal. Looking for many more weekend mornings of paddling.
